Free ebook called WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY AFTER AGE 50: The Geriatric Bariatric Life

Surgery
Gastric bypass

Until late tomorrow night (Oct. 18, 2021), there is an Amaz*n ebook available for a free download. It is called Weight Loss Surgery After Age 50: The Geriatric Bariatric Life by Rita Laws, Ph.D. It discusses most bariatric procedures but mostly gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and stomach banding.
 
I have not attempted to conceal my identity in any way. I wrote this book to help other people and right now, it is free. That means no cost to people here and no profit for me. This is not "exploiting" anyone and it is not against any rule that I saw when I joined. Bariatric surgery saved my life. Many older people assume they are too old for it when they may be eligible. I'm trying to help my bariatric community. That is my agenda.
 
Friends, please consider asking questions before assuming that a newbie has evil intentions. I have been a professional writer for 4 decades, but about alot of the books, magazine articles and online courses I have written have been non-profit ventures. I spent three years writing and researching this ebook and don't ever expect to recoup my expenses, much less make a profit. This ebook is my gift to senior citizens like me (I am 65) who have battled obesity for years but mistakenly believe that bariatric surgery is not for folks over 50. (It will always be free for Kindle Unlimited members and I will take advantage of Amazon promotions to make the ebook free for brief periods whenever they allow me to do so.) Fact is, there is no upper age limit for bariatric surgery but most seniors assume differently. I've worked so hard to make this book accurate and helpful. It was difficult to tell the world that I once weighed almost 400 pounds but at my age, it is a good thing to share any wisdom that one has been fortunate enough to acquire.
